Verified Answer :

Answer: She need 18 inches of ribbon for her project.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of ribbon = 60 inches

Part of ribbon cut off for an art project = 40%

So, Length of ribbon remains is given by

\(\dfrac{40}{100}\times 60\\\\=0.4\times 60\\\\=24\ inches\)

Now, Part of piece she only needs from cut off = 75%

so, Length of ribbon she need end up using in her project is given by

\(\dfrac{75}{100}\times 24\\\\=0.75\times 24\\\\=18\ inches\)

Hence, She need 18 inches of ribbon for her project.
